Talan Torriero, of "Laguna Beach" pseudo-fame, will be taking his rightful place in front of the camera once again, this time starring in a short Northwestern film. Talan and Charity Shea (of Alpha Dog and "The Best Years" pseudo-fame) are being flown in this weekend to star as plucky teens who stumble upon a gigantic war robot in "Hangar Number Five," one of two Studio 22 fall grants this quarter.

Here's hoping he's worth the nearly $2,000 spent for his first class plane ticket and swank accomodations. Maybe he can draw on all the time he spent pretending to be interested in Kristen in order to remain relevant on "Laguna Beach." Hey, come to think of it, that's a lot like running from a robot...
